maxz Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The job of buskers is to put themselves out there, doing what they love, have fun and try to share that fun with others. The most important thing about a good performance is staying in contact with the audience, while of course playing decently (not out of tune) and most of all, enjoying and improvising a bit, playing with the music, not just recreating the recording of that song. I've been out doing it. You get mostly positive feedback or get ignored, then sometimes you get kids trying to rile you up or somebody complaining about your songs.

KnightswoodBear Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 One thing i've noticed about the pre pubescent buskers that seem to have spread along Buchanan Street like a rash, is that they all seem to have some wee lassie with them sitting looking doe eyed at them whilst they mumble breathlessly through some fucking dreadful Ed Sheeran number. edit: 1-5 : Ed Sheeran and Coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's ALWAYS Lego House. We had a guy at work once who was a busker. He couldn't understand why anyone who could play an instrument, wasn't also busking...

Richey Edwards Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I always assumed that the whole point of busking was that people pay you to STFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I went to school with a guy who's summer plan was to take his guitar with him on a family break to London, take an afternoon away from them to busk, get spotted by a record company, get signed. Unfortunately it was not a successful plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Techno Pets in Glasgow takes the biscuit. Sits there all day, in a high viz vest and hard hat, playing 90s dance music, and pretending to play the drums. I don't get it. That Leo is a bit of a weirdo. Kicks about now in T-shirts with "Leo" drawn on them in pen, often trying to pose for pictures / crave attention in general. He also wears earphones when 'silent' dancing. Is the electric scarecrow still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the electric scarecrow still alive? I'm with you on this. He's not actually adding anything to the tunes but, you know, IT'S JUST SO ZAAAANNY!!!The electric scarecrow was brought up on another thread regarding town weirdos. I'd feared he had died but supposedly is alive and well in the Southside, just no longer dressed head to toe in nylon and mad makeup.I'll die happily if I never have to hear a George Ezra song ever fucking again. Every fucking day on Buchanan St "Ohhh what you waiiiiting ohh what you waaaaaiiting fooor" by every single shitty busker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruppenfuhrer Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 was in montrose a few years back asked the busker if he could play the cure's just like heaven, he said it was too difficult for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
